It would be a bit silly to ask Gore and Clements to restructure, I'd personally feel angry if my boss asked me to take a pay cut while he had 30mil+ sitting in the bank. Especially it being two of our lead players, it'd defiantly be a bit disrespectful and probably damage our relationship between them. Why ask your stars to sacrifice in a time when it's not needed, comes off a bit selfish. I mean we're 34mil under the cap, it's not like we're 4 mil under cap and looking dire to keeping the team together.

restructuring doesnt mean taking a pay cut. It just means converting your yearly salary into the form of a roster bonus. You still get the money.

Thats true, to a certain extent, most of the time, the money saved becomes a roster bonus, but sometimes they make it so its incentive based, like games played, TD's, Yards, etc...

Asomougha & Suggs this would make are defense real special if we could.

I wouldn't mind having Asomougha, but I think Suggs is a little overrated. I think the defense around him made him a lot better than he really is.

That number really ius misleading, since they(Cards) have so few players under contract in 2009 as of now.

The main FA's for the Cards are;

QB Warner
RB Arrington
FB Smith
TE Pope
DE Berry
DT Watson(RFA)
MLB Dansby
CB Green
FS Ware

Not to mentoin the fact that Boldin may want a new deal, now that Haley is gone, and Dockett will want a new deal as well.

So, i doubt they will be big players in the open market.

Hopefully, they remain cheap. In the past they have been known to let their good players leave in free agency (ie S. Rice). Know wonder why they have $41 mil.

According to ESPN's Mike Sando (I did not post the link, sorry) They currently have $41M in Cap space but they need to sign a good chunk of their current players to new contracts and not mention draft picks.

As well as pay big money to Warner, Dansby and Dockett in order for them to stay. I think Warner may follow Haley to KC though.

Realistically they only have $20-25M while the Niners will have close to $25-30M after they release or restructure Smith and others like Strickland and Rossum.

Meanwhile the Hawks have about $20M and the Rams have $4M.

The Niners are in good shape and we've taken our medicine...now its time to compete for a championship!

The Rmas only have $4M in cap room, there going to suck again.

Here's the link:

http://myespn.go.com/blogs/nfcwest/0-8-88/What-cap-space-means-in-NFC-West.html

To summerize:

"Arizona Cardinals

Current cap room: $41 million

Projected functional cap room: $20 million to $25 million

Top players without contracts for 2009: Kurt Warner, Karlos Dansby, Antonio Smith, Bertrand Berry, J.J. Arrington, Terrelle Smith

Cap considerations: Having so few players under contract for 2009 has made the Cardinals' cap-space figure misleading. Other teams in the division won't be adding nearly as many contracts for the 2009 season. Arizona must also consider the financial implications associated with extending contracts for receiver Anquan Boldin or defensive tackle Darnell Dockett, should the team elect to address those situations. Rewarding Boldin with a Larry Fitzgerald-type contract might chew up an additional $8 million in cap space in 2009."

As for the Niners:

"Current cap room: $12 million

Projected functional cap room: $20 million to $30 million

Top players without contracts for 2009: Bryant Johnson, J.T. O'Sullivan, Roderick Green, Billy Bajema, Allen Rossum

Cap considerations: Of all the NFC West teams, the 49ers are in the best shape to pursue free agents from other teams because their own core players are signed for 2009. The 49ers will pick up additional cap room when they release quarterback Alex Smith or rework his contract. Smith's deal is counting about $10 million against the cap. San Francisco pushed unused 2008 cap space into 2009 by writing incentives into the 2009 contracts for running back DeShaun Foster and defensive back Donald Strickland. Once neither player achieved those incentives, the associated cap space rolled over into the 2009 cap allotment. It's one way teams work the system."


So relax, let it all play out...plus AZ just lost their O-Coord (***edit*** as well as their D-Coord). So maybe the SB runnerup curse is on....

What do you think these guys will be getting?

I really would like to have Asomougha. Right now we need to focus on NT and FS. If we get Asomougha we can move either Walt to FS or Clements. Another player I want the Niners to go after is OT Gross.

NOT HAPPENING

ab after dropping tbc and lewis do you know what were lookin at for the cap?

Hey AB:
Why is it taking so long with cutting Jennings, is there some kind of date that if we cut him before that date we will take a bigger salary hit? Any idea of when Smith's salary will be restructured? Thanks for the info.
